NATIONAL Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq has raised his concerns and fears stating that the assembly won’t be able to complete its tenure. The alarming thing to note here is that the custodian of this august house is himself raising fears about the tenure of the government. Everyone smells a conspiracy within their own ranks.

The events of the last two or three months have weakened the government to the core where their own members are reluctant to attend the aasembly session and are rebelling by tendering their resignations.

This shows the importance of having your ‘own’ house in order rather than staying away from its members losing their trust and support.

Good luck to the government for the remaining five months and the general election in 2018. I hope they are able to learn from their mistakes.
